Technical Abstract

A method, a computer program product, and a computer system manage notification settings on a user device within premises. The method includes determining a notification rule to be enforced on the premises for the notification settings to be set on the user device while within the premises. The method includes determining a location and a defined surrounding within the premises for managing the notification settings on the user device, the notification rule being based on the defined surrounding. The method includes determining a user device location of the user device within the premises. The method includes determining whether the user device location is within the defined surrounding. The method includes, as a result of the user device location being within the defined surrounding, transmitting instructions indicative of the notification rule to the user device to set the notification settings on the user device based on the notification rule.
